Mayor Eric Adams’ administration is suing 17 charter bus companies for alleged violations of state law in transporting tens of thousands of migrants to the Big Apple over the past 20 months, at the behest of Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, and saddling the city with the cost.
The suit announced Thursday marks the latest escalation between Adams’ and Abbott’s administrations over the past few days and seeks to recoup roughly $708 million, which the city has so far spent on housing, feeding and otherwise providing for over 33,600 migrants sent here by the Lone Star State since April 2022.
